June 17, 20206 yr Donald Brinegar Singers, Celebration Collection Yes, really. The lead singer of Al1ce shared privately with me that she sings on here, so I gave it a serious listen and it's so peaceful and soothing and perfectly sung I can't help but love it.
June 18, 20206 yr Best Coast - Always Tomorrow I’m a big fan of these guys. Love the lo fi, surf pop sound. Pixies vibes.
June 19, 20206 yr Sometimes you just need a burst of concentrated happiness with all the shitty news out there. Thankfully Bob & his Wailers always deliver. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live At The Rainbow, 4th June 1977
June 20, 20206 yr I’m re-listening to Al1ce’s acoustic set from two weeks ago, it sounds so good. That bowed upright bass...
June 21, 20206 yr ^^^ Never knew this existed! Listened to some, which led me to this. There's also a documentary video about it....
June 21, 20206 yr Just discovered it today, myself. Was searching for all versions of “Push the Sky Away” on Tidal and ran across two covers (in addition to the original and several live versions). Loved it, listened to the rest of the album. Love how they translated “Red Right Hand” to a lullaby. The rest didn’t need as much work to make it less rocky. Love how melodic the source material is, their versions really bring that out. Now listening to Endless River because of a certain discussion on Facebook.
